I am waiting on my kit too. I ordered end of Feb, same time around the Group buy.

I email them .... no reply
I call them .... no answer

The last word I got from Catalyst was a month and a half back saying my stuff is all packed and just waiting for the external wastegate to get in from their supplier.

As of now I have no idea whats going on. I paid $4000 for my kit that took me hell of a long time to save. If I was in USA I would go down there and pull my kit out of their @ss.

Ive been trying at LEAST 2 times daily as Eddie has been trying as well and no response. They dont have much more time before the legal action is taken.

I tried calling 12 times last night, the phone rings 0-5 tines, machine says mailbox of SF is full, I try again later to no success. Have not been able to get ahold of them in a while, I am back in town now, but still with turbo kit that I was told had been shipped weeks ago!

Who is close that can go down there, I am willing to put up some $$ for a trip for someone, anyone else pitch in?

Nah man i got my kit, they sent it off knowing it was a piece of ****. They told Eddie they were in a hurry and they knew it was a piece of ****. So me and Dragoon are working on a refund. There was a locked thread with tons of pics.
I had a bent pipe, HORRIBLE welds. pinholes in the down pipe and exhaust mani, a dented up FMIC, and chips and scratches on the piping. The only thing they got right was they sent the FULL kit, no missing pieces and the powder coating was right on. But i didnt pay 3k up front for a half A$$ weld job and i told SF a perfect kit or refund. Well as you can very well tell im not satisfied.

So I talked to Mike today, and he said he was away for the last week, and he has no idea where my kit is? He thought it was sent in the mail, but can't be certain, and the tracking number he has says billing info received, but he didn't give me the number?

He said to call him in 4 hours, which I did, but he is not answering again, I still have no idea what is happening down there!

Guys, legal action (if taken, which i dotn want to) will only include those who are my customers. I cannot include you if you are not one of my customers. If you do have problems with your kit, i can just mention it and you can be witnesses and submit evidence of the poor service etc.

The whole situation is crazy and gets crazier by the day. I have a feeling as I've been robbed of $4000. And if this gets to be the case, its HELL for SF.
